I think I may see some potential Darwin Award winners there...

Sadly, I know an American that broke a tooth while praying to the porcelin god (throwing up in the toilet). Gotta wonder how many other not-so-brilliant folks are out there.

*sigh* I think my hubby would have to qualify for a Darwin Award. An otherwise logical man, he's hit himself in the head with a sledgehammer, hammer, and cast iron skillet just to see if they were really hard.

Many, many, years ago my brother-in-law needed to spend a little time over the toilet after a big night of drinking. He fell asleep with his forehead resting on the rim. The next morning he woke up with a deep red line across his forehead that hurt like hell and didn't go away until the next day.

I don't think I should tell you about a girl I used to work with.....
